During the summer months, we must make sure to stay hydrated, especially during and post-workouts. Staying adequately hydrated is one of the best solutions to eliminating mental fog, energy dips and helping with digestion and weight loss. Who doesn’t want that? So exactly how much water should you drink? Aim to drink half your body weight in ounces of water each day, and more if you exercise. Get bored with plain old water? Here are a couple great alternatives to make it more

Amy Younkman, one of our Yoga Leaders, shared a delicious Black Bean Brownie recipe from HEB with me. I made them last night for the first time, hoping they would turn out good so I could share with you and also eat them today too! Good news — they are YUM, super easy and are ridiculously healthy to be so good and taste so real! The HEB recipe called for 1T of sugar, but I left that out and they still taste great. I hope you enjoy them as much as I have! Ingredients 1 & 1/2C

We LOVE these protein bars. They are a delicious, filling, nutritious and balanced (great carbohydrate / fat / protein ratio) snack that is perfect whether after a workout or when you need a bite between meals. They can even be a great meal replacement if you double or triple (depending on gender and activity level) the serving size. Best of all, once you have your ingredients together they are quick and easy to make. We know you will love them as much as we do! Recommend
